Well I'll stop saying about steering neutrality.
When loss of traction, ESC/TCS IRL will reduce throttle and brake the spinning wheel at the same time.But in BeamNG, the TCS only reduce throttle. If you use the "All terrain ESC" in the ETK1300 and lift a drive wheel, you'll notice the spinning whell does not receive brake force.

Sorry but i'm a bit lost, you complain either to have a too realistic handling but a not enough realistic ESC / TC . I reformulate the handling behavior, in my point of view, the actual handling and balance is realistic , it's neutral at regular speed, and have a little of understeer when too fast or during an emergency situation (with ESC : on) . Without Esc or on Sport / All Terrain mode, the powerful models give what I consider enough oversteer to be fun to drive
About the official Esc / Tc, it's not 100% realistic as we deliberately set them less harsh than IRL, and at some point we can't offer the same level of complexity.
But overall, I can totally understand that the actual handling is not on your tastes, it has been set with my experience of driving, a steering wheel, my fov setting and so on to satisfy my expectations, and more important to me, Bernd and Overpower seem to be happy about the way it handle.
It's really hard to satisfy everybody...

First, thank you very much for the modern SUV. I was looking forward to it. But there are a few questions. The model 1354t and "Low" is missing the front bumper.Models 1354tc, 1354td,1356t,1356td,1356ttSport a four-wheel drive, instead of rear. What is the difference between the modification " Low " from 1354d All terrain M ? Will you change the nameplates on the back door to indicate a modification? P.S.; I have not yet written a review, but be sure to write a positive.

first off- amazing mod!View attachment 589688
but, there are a few problems- very small problems, mind you, but problems nonetheless- first off, the front wheels are not actually centered between the arches- second of all, the vehicle looks a bit disproportionate compared to its real life counterparts- here; let me show you.

i did some quick drawings to find the average lines of this vehicles main two real life counterparts- the x5 and the x3

i know that it's a bit hard to see, but you can really see how the x5 and the x3 seem to curve up a ton more as they go farther aft of the front wheels- the reverse happening in the windshield, as it curves a ton less and starts a bit further forwards in its real life counterparts.
(also i scaled these three images to be almost exactly perfectly sized for eachother; so these markings are genuine)

after about thirty minutes in photoshop (a great deal of which were spent trying to get the damn clone stamp tool to cooperate), i created this:

the image with the background is the before and the white background is the after, with the windshield raked into a more vertical stance, the roofline pulled up and forwards just a tad, and the base of the car lifted to perfectly caress the center of the wheels, in terms of height. (as it more or less does on the irl counterparts.)

EDIT:
a less beefy and angular nose could also help quite a bit, as well as lifting the greenhouse even more, decreasing the distance between the roof rack and the top of the window's chrome, like so:View attachment 589761

(just an fyi this comparison was made after i finished my original edit, so it's a comparison of two versions of the edited version of your concept- sorry if that was confusing!)

sorry if i'm being rude, as i tend to be a lot of the time when trying to give advice- but hey, this is just my opinion
